Process


Multi-Phase Lighting Design

Our multi-phase methodology aligns with the standard stages of architectural development. It is thoughtfully structured to support continuity of intent from the early concept phase through to final realisation and is fully integrated within the broader design and construction journey. Collaboration and coordination across disciplines ensure that lighting evolves cohesively as an essential element of the overall design process.

  • We understand the people, space and context, define the intended atmosphere, and establish the lighting strategies that will guide the project.

  • We translate the agreed-upon lighting strategies into initial plans, integration details, and technical specifications, while also determining an initial cost estimate for the lighting equipment.

  • We prepare detailed layouts, integration details and equipment specifications, supported by qualitative and quantitative verification to confirm the design intent and technical requirements.

  • We support the tender process, assess proposed luminaires against the specifications, and guide the selection of final lighting equipment for the project.

  • We document the design for construction, coordinate with the project team, provide on-site support and carry out inspections to safeguard its correct implementation.

  • We test, aim and fine-tune the luminaires and control systems, verify performance and visual comfort, and complete the process with a clear handover.

  • Independent lighting design is a relatively young design profession, employing artificial light to shape how spaces look, feel and function. 

    It brings together architecture, technology, visual perception and sustainability to improve comfort, atmosphere, identity and energy performance. 

    Since independent lighting designers are not affiliated with either manufacturers or suppliers, their recommendations are based solely on the requirements of the specific project.

  • Your journey with light begins with our first conversation.

    Starting this conversation during the initial design phase is ideal.
    Together, we can define how the space should feel and function, establish priorities and budget and develop lighting strategies that integrate seamlessly with the architecture.

  • Free lighting design is typically offered by manufacturers or suppliers to support the sale of their products.

    The costs are usually embedded in the margins of the light fixtures, controls or installation.
    Hidden expenses can also arise during the installation and commissioning stage of the project.

    As independent lighting designers, we liaise with relevant construction teams to ensure that you are prepared for the full scope of investment needed to achieve desired results with lighting systems.


  • As an independent lighting design consultancy, we do not sell luminaires.

    However, we fully support clients with the procurement process by evaluating specifications, budgets, performance and after-sale services from relevant manufacturers.
